Can this scale be calibrated with this 50g weight? 50-Gram Chrome Scale Calibration Weight

Yes it can be re-calibrated if necessary. When I do it the scaleasks for a 1000.0 g weight. I don't have any so I just check itwith the smaller weight set I have. You can buy the weighton ebay for 17 USD or so. Wish they stated this in the productdescription.Good luck.Joe

No. You can check the accuracy with a 50 kg weight, but you need 1000 kg to calibrate.

I think the only that works is a 1kg weight. I bought one at the time I bought the scale and it works. American Weigh Scales 1KGWGT Calibration Weight Scale, 1000gm Capacity

Get the calibration weights. They are an absolute MUST with inexpensive scales. This one is pretty accurate. I reweighed the same mass 5 times and got the same reading each time.

Did not come with weight. Scale must be calibrated. Suggest amazon search 200g weight

Mine did not come with a calibration weight. Whether you need a calibration weight, depends on your use for it. I make coffee in the morning with it and measure out the grams of coffee I want as well as the oz of water I need for it. I trust it has been pre calibrated correctly. But then again I'm only making coffee.

I can't say for certain if a scale such as this can be certified. It has no adjustment that I'm aware of so if it needed to be calibrated, I don't know how it could be achieved. If I were you, I would search online for companies that do this type of certification service and inquire with them directly.

Yes but I don't recomend this scale. You have to adjust it back and corth EVERY TIME!!

I guess by using a known value, like the calibrations buffers, 4.0 or 7.0. It's like using a calibrated weight to check a scale

Hiyou will need both weights to calibrate this scale (200gram and 500grams). I have a set of labotory weights, so I am able to varify this scales accuracy. I use it daily. It has never been off by more then 0.03grams. Not bad for a 500g x 0.01g scale which cost me less then twenty dollars. I spent around two hundred for my weights alone.I think you will like this scale. P.S. When my scale arrived it was. accurate plus or minus 0.02grams.good luck, have fun. George D. 3-6-14 3:21pm

I don't recommend M. Gonzalez' solution. I calibrated to 1000g. My 500g weight then says 667g. Calibration is not linear.

I purchased this scale as a teaching tool. Since receiving your question I have been using calibrated weights to check accuracy and it has been spot on. I have also rigged an apparatus that allows us to weigh odd shaped items such as a flake of hay and I have found this scale to very handy in the barn. I do not know how to calibrate it and it is clearly marked "not legal for trade" I hope this is useful.

Its always best to calibrate to a known weight. I did not have any known weights, so I calibrated it to zero (ie no weight). For my purposes, this was sufficient.

When I purchased this scale it was already pre-calibrated. I just used it right away and have never had a problem with it being inaccurate!

Yes. This scale measures in Oz, Ozt (Troy Oz), Grams and Gr (Grains). It is very accurate and did not need any calibration out of the box.

Hello, In order to calibrate the i300, you would need a 200 gram calibration weight. They can be purchased on our site for $8.90 with free shipping. Thank you. Have a great day.

Not to my knowledge, no. On our farm stand we let the customers know it wasn't a certified scale but that we had tested it ourselves and found it to be accurate, and nobody had a problem with it. We always round the price to the nearest nickel anyway, so we don't need anything any more accurate than that. Your application could have different requirements.

There is no calibration to this scale. It does have a ZERO or TARE setting so you can adjust for containers. Hope this helps
